Any cons of lowering springs?

Zero dark

I was told if i swapped out for lowering springs, i would need new struts soon since it will wear them faster?
I always thought getting springs would mean an alignment after the new springs settle and i can just go about my business. Is there something im missing?

You'll need camber arms and toe bolts if you lower the car.

Nismo struts are fine, drop it on Swifts, get an alignment and be done. Depending on your rear tire size (305s) you may need to get camber arms and toe bolts.

Edit: You beat me to the punch!

If you lower the car, you will need camber arms and toe bolts to get the alignment back into spec.

depends on the springs you get. swifts will probably run fine with your stock dampers.

and alignment is required. think of it as part of the installation process.

I would get it done but if i need camber arms and toe bolts i probably wont get it done

Knio

you can run without camber arms, but it will eat your rear tires.


Eibach springs on sport suspension

Alignment is always required.

You're don't necessary needed the arms to lower your car But they will save more money in the long run because Z tires are expensive. Camber arms(spl) and toe bolts ~$300. A new set of rear tires $500-700.

They are a much better product, but many people use the SPC with no problems.
